Lord, Can I Have a Re-do ?!
We're at Stardollar or whatever that big city coffee place is. [Note: y'all wanting campfire java, best you ask them pretty Baptists girls, or whatever they call them for a "triple shot". I learned they import hard beans whats been cooking all night on a cattle drive. They got plenty of hair on 'em. The beans, I mean]. But I digress...
Denny said on my explaining a center concept of two or more generations partnering for the upbringing of a newer generation, maybe two, "Isn't this like giving old guys like me a repreive when they didn't do all that well the first time around" Matt added, "Yeah, I get a lot of dads halfway in to family therapy wishing they could have another shot at it. They want to hit the rewind button as if they were recording something really worthwhile for posterity; they want a 're-do'"
Dad, need a re-do? Me, too! Matt gives it to me. Let's me in on the nurturing, coaching, modeling, and I get to take each or all grandwonderkids out on treks when dad is tied up...like all working dads. And, that's why I couldn't wait to send Taylor (now 11) my almost-monthly letter of encouragement with a wee bit of admonition thrown in, of course.
